Quiet and shady, the trees rise all around here high and thick. In stillness, woodland creatures make appearances, though sudden noises scare them back into the cover. Dappled sunlight filters down between the thick foliage, and the ground underfoot is heavily overgrown, though here and there paths have been worn, by deer or years of students wandering familiar trails. | Quiet and shady, the trees rise all around here high and thick.

"-- I try fo stay patient but chee!" Nanami's teeth suck hard against her teeth, her head shaking incredulously. Somewhere far distant, well out of sight, probably classes are going on in the mansion; out here it's quiet. Occasionally birds chirp. The lake can be heard lapping at the short off through the trees. The small teenager is sitting on a tree stump well into the woods, dressed none-too-outdoorsy today, in a sheer black shrug over a pale pink blouse edged in black lace, plain black knee-length pleated skirt, pink tights, and slouchy knee high black boots with chunky heels. She has her knees tucked in towards each other, ankles turned outward and her fingers absently smoothing at the pleats of her skirt. " | "-- I try fo stay patient but chee!"

She blows out a long breath. "Get too many them together." | "''Odda'' haoles?" Kelawini is sitting at a socially distant six feet from her sister, cross-legged on a plush bed of mosses.

Quiet and shady, the trees rise all around here high and thick. In stillness, woodland creatures make appearances, though sudden noises scare them back into the cover. Dappled sunlight filters down between the thick foliage, and the ground underfoot is heavily overgrown, though here and there paths have been worn, by deer or years of students wandering familiar trails. "-- I try fo stay patient but chee!" Nanami's teeth suck hard against her teeth, her head shaking incredulously. Somewhere far distant, well out of sight, probably classes are going on in the mansion; out here it's quiet. Occasionally birds chirp. The lake can be heard lapping at the short off through the trees. The small teenager is sitting on a tree stump well into the woods, dressed none-too-outdoorsy today, in a sheer black shrug over a pale pink blouse edged in black lace, plain black knee-length pleated skirt, pink tights, and slouchy knee high black boots with chunky heels. She has her knees tucked in towards each other, ankles turned outward and her fingers absently smoothing at the pleats of her skirt. "Who wen tell these haoles they got rights?" "Odda haoles?"

Kelawini laughs, bright and loud, tossing a drift of loose hair back over her shoulder. "Chee, I never buss up no haole kids here yet. They stay akamai, I mebbe not ever." She starts to stretch her legs out in front of her, but hesitates, eyeing the distance to Nanami, then pulls them back under herself. "See, dis fancy kine school, guaranz dey got some boat class, some swim class. Odda class?" She shrugs, unconcerned. "If can, can." "If no can..." Nanami twists around on her tree stump, angling herself a little more away from Kelawini. Slowly, she's pushing herself up, rolling one ankle then the other in a small stretch. "That yet, do some real big work there." "If no can--what, they send me for summer school?" Kelawini grins, rising in one smooth motion where her sister gathers herself slowly. "All my words dey work hard. I don't want no trouble demo, bumbye we see if trouble want me." | |
